DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6 - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 10m - blue - 5pk

The DIGITUS Category 6 S/FTP patch cord is a 10 m network cable designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling systems. It meets ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 (Class E) requirements, is PoE+ ready and uses copper conductors. The cable features an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions, and comes with transparent red-colored RJ-45 plugs with metal shielding for easy identification of Category 6 connectors.

Advantages

The cable is tested up to 250 MHz including performance characteristics such as near end cross talk (NEXT). Molded boots with kink protection and strain relief extend connector durability, and an integrated latch protection reduces the risk of breaking the latching lever. S/FTP shielding provides additional protection against electromagnetic interference, supporting stable signal transmission.

Suitable for

• Structured Ethernet networks in offices and homes
• Connections requiring PoE+ power delivery
• LAN installations where low-smoke LSZH jacket is required
• Environments needing enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plug at each end to the corresponding network ports of your devices or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid excessive pulling on the cable to maintain the integrity of the molded boot and strain relief. Use cable management accessories if needed to prevent kinks and to keep runs tidy.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, install the patch cord within a properly certified Category 6 channel and avoid running parallel to power cables. When used for PoE+ devices, verify the power budget of your switches and endpoints. Replace the cable if the jacket or connector shows visible damage.
